Ebay has rolled out a new policy which retires the “PowerSeller” status and grants a “Trusted Seller” medal that is much more prominent.
Problem is, it places a minimum on transaction count. I’m a Silver powerseller, bordering on Gold. Yet I don’t have 100 transactions because I sell expensive items. And I want that Trusted Seller status.
So… I have to find something to sell, and find it fast (before this month’s status re-calculation). Could I sell a 100 washingtons for 100 lincolns? Or is this some sort of “violation” of the “terms of use” “policy” “?”
If it is, what else do you think I could sell, at a loss if i have to, that will move quickly? And what can I sell in other countries (since I need 100 transactions in each region i want to be a Trusted Seller in)?
Ixnay on the other countries thing. Apparently they changed their rules again and you have to reside in the same country to be a Top Rated Seller there. Frankly, I don’t understand what Ebay has against globalization…
It may be considered to be a feedback trade. That is, a transaction made just to increase feedback. I may be wrong. If, however, you took a pile of old, un-listened-to-in-years CDs, and sold them with a BIN of 50 cents, that would be OK, and, if the CDs were at all popular, could result in some quick sales.
